"Hey guys! Love the magazine, have been a subscriber since I was 15! I just wanted to write and throw my truck into the mix for your Ridin' Around page. My Dime has a 3-inch bodydrop on 20-inch Irocs. It has a 350ci that cranks out just over 400hp to the wheels. It also has a custom sheetmetal interior, and sliding ragtop. Thanks, and keep up the great work!"

"This is my Taco with 2.4L with headers, custom exhaust, and e-fan. It has Slam Specialties 'bags, three-link with wishbone, bags on links, bodydropped bed, cab soon on the way, will stay on 18s though. The bed is shaved with stock tails, corners shaved, planning on going '01-'03 front end conversion and try to get a 4Runner rear bumper to fit. Working on the interior now, really hope to see my work in progress on the pages of your fine publication … MT4L!"

We actually spotted this truck while sitting at a stoplight. Luckily, traffic was light enough to creep up beside Joe and ask him to pull over for an impromptu photo sesh. He was on his way to get down on his BMX bikes, but he made some time for us. His 520 has been static dropped, and is driven every single day. The interior and engine compartment are clean, it runs great, and best of all, this Datsun belongs to an owner who truly loves and appreciates it.
